Governance

Governors play an important role at Fairfield High School for Girls.
The general role of the Local Governing Body is to provide the local context, challenge and support to the Headteacher and Executive Principal, ensuring the very best local provision is given for the community.

Welcome from the Chair of the Local Governing Body – Councillor Brenda Warrington

Dear Parents and Carers As Chair of the Local Governing Body, I am delighted to welcome all of our parents and carers to our website. I hope that you will find all the information you need here, but if not, please do not hesitate to get in touch with either the school or myself via school. I am very proud of our school’s reputation and for the outstanding support our pupils receive. Fairfield High School for Girls is a fully inclusive school and every pupil matters to us; with our excellent experienced staff and the facilities we have available within school I am confident in saying that your daughters could not be at a better school. Fairfield High School for Girls is a school where we recognise each pupil’s individual needs, talents and contributions. As Chair of the Local Governing Body, I am extremely proud of Fairfield High School for Girls and I promise you that we will do our very best to ensure that your daughters enjoy their time with us, are kept safe and achieve their full potential. I can guarantee that they will leave the school as responsible, respectful, educated, caring members of the community with values that are second to none. I look forward to meeting you in the near future at one of our events. Your sincerely

Brenda Warrington
